there's a NerdCubed quote I'm trying to track down that goes something like "a creative management game is a game where you manage something and you can be a little creative about it" and I have no idea whether it's possible to search captions
@StroomAfwaarts Well, the pinatas would be the ones at the top
@silvermoon82 @ifixcoinops I have an image of 98 here, for what it's worth: https://archive.org/details/PackardBellEncarta98 - though there seem to be many Encarta images on archive.org in general

I bet if anybody knows how to get old Encarta CD-ROM encyclopedias running on Linux it'd be Fedi
@ana Which term in there were you looking at? The only one I can find is the "You Give Mozilla Certain Rights and Permissions" one, which seems to scope it specifically to "what you ask Firefox to do" (which would be legal boilerplate)

"refrain from criticism until you have an alternative solution" is a great way to make sure nothing ever changes. step one to solving a problem is acknowledging its existence

I hate this idea that in order to criticize something you have to have an alternative. like some things are just bad and replacing it misses the point that the entire category it fills is unethical and undesirable?

Exciting news! After years of work, my research paper has just been published. It shows that adding a layer of gravel at the bottom of a plant pot really DOES improve drainage. This exact scenario has never been directly tested before, in spite of a lot of myths and theories flying around.
The full research paper is open access: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0318716
There's also a slightly more reader-friendly summary and explanation of the research on my website: https://tradescantia.uk/article/drainage-layers/

eating disorders, question
Does anyone know of any useful articles about eating disorders and their relation to plurality and/or other neurospicy traits?
(That aren't some ableist garbage like "autistic people cannot communicate")
